 Topic: Ryzen 3600 Steel Legends Heat Issues...Posted: 08 Sep 2020 at 4:08pm |

Hi there,
I have a B450M Steel Legends with the 2.90 BIOS. When using my 2600, my temps are good and everything works. However, when I install my new 3600, my temps are very high 45 - 50 at idle, and around 82C in Cinebench. I have tried two different 3600 CPUs, applied the required thermal paste (Noctua and MX)...even updated temporarily to the very latest BIOS, but still I have the same issues. For reference, I am using a Noctua 12S cooler, with everything placed in a Be Quiet 600 Base case with two fans. For monitoring, I have used Ryzen Master and HWINFO64. Could you please help? I really don't want to go back to intel, but the heat issues on the 3600 are tempting me. Thanks |

If I can advise, you should check your voltages when running at idle/Cinebench and the way you set them either in the BIOS or in Ryzen Master.I have played with a 3600X CPU recently and temps were high out of the box because of the stock (high) voltage the board was applying to the CPU.
I had it idling at around 42-43degC and Cinebech R15 running at peak 77-78degC but after manually setting voltage I had reduced these temps by a good 5 to 6degC |

No if you OC through Ryzen Master like I do. By doing so, when you use either AMD or Windows power plan, it would either downclock/reduce voltages and put some cores to sleep so you are not at Full speed 100% of the time |
